This is a Civil War era carte de visite showing a man with a locomotive at his side.
I don't know if the locomotive is a model or a toy, but it looks to be very well detailed (more so than I would expect for a toy).
The image came in an album with other 1860s era images. Most carry Mass. backmarks, but this particular image is not photographer marked.

Don't think that is a Happy Houlligan toy. Maybe the sales rep. from a locomotive manufacturer with detailed model or even a print.
A toy, I suspect, with his right hand around it. Could be a model.
Hey, he does have his hand on it. I thought it was in the background instead of the foreground.
Thanks for looking and commenting buss.
It shows some extra detailing that I wouldn't expect in a toy.

That's not a toy. Has to be a salesman's model.
Thanks again buss!
